1253 Texas was home to Sun Furniture for years. The property is now owned by SporTran. Billed as Shreveport’s first mixed-use food hall, office, and retail redevelopment, the 34,000 sq. ft. building is an adaptive re-use of the former furniture store’s retail/showroom. Sun operated at the location from 1966 until its closure in 2018.

The redevelopment, now known as SporTran City, was spearheaded by SporTran, Shreveport’s local transit authority. The property is being offered for lease in two phases. Phase one is comprised of a small office suite with six private offices; two retail/office suites, and a food hall capable of accommodating three or more food concepts. The food hall can be a destination and focal point for the community, and a shared kitchen atmosphere. This offers an affordable location for “pop-up” entrepreneurs and a dual-use commissary/sit down location for food truck operators. Established food vendors are also afforded a test kitchen for new concepts without a high overhead.

A local institution since the 1870s, “when mule drawn street cars ran from the downtown area to nearby outlying areas”, SporTran is taking a visionary approach to this mixed-use redevelopment, which will house a portion of their corporate offices on the second floor upon completion. In addition, SporTran is constructing an electric car charging station across the street, which will be one of the most convenient and attractive charging stations along the I-20 corridor.

SporTran City is a unique redevelopment and could be just what your business is looking for in downtown Shreveport. For more information, contact Trenton Siskron, KW Commercial NWLA, 318-213-1545 or 713-865-1844 or tsiskron@kw.com, Come be a part of the “heart.” You’ll be glad you did.
